The most important decision for your building remodeling project

Experienced and trustworthy professionals result in a worry-free project.

When selecting your building remodeling contractor, choose wisely

You have made the decision. It is time to give your existing structure a makeover so you can be more productive and profitable. Or you are moving into a new space that has to change to fit your business. You are making a big investment in your future.

Now it is time to make another important decision. It is time to choose your building remodeling contractor. You need a partner you can trust. One who can protect your investment and provide a worry-free service. A service that will help your business thrive for years after its completion. Making the right decision is critical.

What will your remodeling contractor have to know?

Remodeling a building requires a complete understanding of all its components. These include:

  • Structure – most commercial buildings consist of perimeter load-bearing walls and post and beam interior construction. Mid- and high-rise structures have a steel skeleton the rest of the building hangs on.
  • Interiors – walls divide space inside commercial buildings. Some of the walls are load bearing and can’t be moved as they hold the roof up. The rest can be moved to optimize your facility’s functionality. In some commercial structures, demising walls separate you from your neighbor next door. They usually house HVAC and sound-reducing insulation. They may contain plumbing and other mechanical systems as well. Partition walls can divide workspaces but keep the space open.
  • Roofs – there are many types, from flat to peaked and anything between them. They consist of an underlying structure of trusses with wood or steel panels placed upon the supports. The roof itself can be traditional shingles or built-up roofing. This is composed of felts, tar, and a wearing surface. Some flat roofs are sprayed-on foam with a watertight membrane to seal it from the elements.
  • Mechanical Systems – these include the HVAC, water, and sewer systems mentioned above. They also consist of the electrical, gas, telephone, telecommunications, and data systems. *
  • Demolition – you many have to tear down parts of your facility before you can rebuild them. In general, though you will want to use the existing infrastructure of your property. You will want to remodel around the existing mechanical systems.

What will your contractor do?

Your partner will remodel the facility according to your architect and designer’s plans. They should do so within your budget and time-frame. Being tasked with a building remodeling is an extremely important responsibility.

If you go on the cheap here, penalties and legal liabilities can follow. For example, you may be hit with fees for code violations. Or is you choose to sublet space your tenant could sue if any structural damages show up later. Cutting corners can also make it more difficult for you to sell the building. Your facility must have a sound structure.

A general contractor can provide construction management for your building remodeling as well. There are many advantages to this including:

  • Having a single point of accountability.
  • Maximizing your return on your investment.
  • Saving time as well as money.
  • Increasing your project’s quality.

Knowledge of every component of your building is a must for your remodeling contractor

Why is a building remodeling partner important?

An experienced remodeling partner will find ways to save you money, maximize use of what you already have, and finish quickly. These benefits are significant. At best construction will be an inconvenience if you are remodeling your existing space. And if you are renovating a building you have bought, you are double-paying for it and your current facility. As you know, time is money.

The right contractor will save you money and give you the remodeled building of your dreams. You will have a facility and workspace that will help you be productive and profitable for years to come.

Factory is reborn as South Orange Commerce Center

orange-commercial-construction-companies-07

Project Profile: South Orange Commerce Center construction management –

South Orange Commerce Center was once a 50,000 metal building used for boat manufacturing. Its developer wanted it converted into eight retail/office spaces. The 3.5-acre lot needed complete site work, but the metal building was converted into a thriving plaza.

The facility required a complete gutting and custom build out of four of the eight units. In addition, CAM Contracting did a custom build out a 5,000 square foot gun range adjacent to the main building.

The project was completed on time and within budget.

Project Scope

  • Convert existing 50,000 square foot warehouse into eight separate retail spaces
  • New three-phase electric service
  • New plumbing
  • Underground fire sprinklers
  • Framing
  • Drywall installation

Unique Challenge

The warehouse was a timeworn building. It’s state resulted in many unforeseen issues such as hazardous waste disposal. New electric and plumbing were required throughout the facility, resulting in extensive site work.

The Solution

CAM worked with the developer, architect and Orange County Building Department to keep everything on track as well as on schedule during all phases of construction. Conscientiously paying attention to detail made this project, with many potential pitfalls, a success.

Pine Castle Christian Academy was a quick creation

Project Profile: Pine Castle Christian Academy building remodeling –

The PCCA commercial construction project is one we are most proud of bringing to a successful conclusion. The site for the school was originally a Darden Restaurants testing school. After Pine Castle Christian Academy had purchased the property, they had 110 days to convert the facility before the school year started.

The floorplans for two buildings had to be modified to accommodate a new 1st thru 12th-grade education space. At the beginning of the process, the administration had no plans, permits or fire protection system.

CAM Contracting completed the 46,000 square foot build out with four days to spare, allowing the school year to start on time. It was a real test of our skills as one of Orlando’s best general contractors. We think we passed with flying colors.

Project Scope

  • Convert vacant 50,000 square foot office/training center building into a K-12 school
  • Relocate five structural beams in the central hallway
  • Update electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to meet current code
  • Resize most rooms
  • Install new flooring, doors, and ceiling tiles
  • Paint interior and exterior

Unique Challenge

CAM Contracting only had 110 days to complete the entire project and had to acquire a change of usage classification certificate.

The Solution

With a lot of hustle, extra hours, prayer, and hard work we completed one our most challenging projects with time to spare. It was a learning experience for everyone involved.

Dean Eaton Plant/ Facilities Manager

David Seip, and his company, has provided excellent service to us and our facility at Regal Marine Industries, a privately held luxury performance boat company located on an 88 acre campus in South Orlando. With his extraordinary leadership qualities, he has provided us with high quality workmanship on our buildings, drop ceilings, roofing, concrete work, landscaping, painting, and electrical to name just a few. David Seip is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about, from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During the past four years that he has done work for us, he has often brought projects in on budget, and a few were even completed ahead of schedule. In closing, as detailed above, based on my experience working with him, I can unreservedly recommend CAM Contracting and David Seip to meet your needs and expectations.

James Dawson, President
Colorcrete of Central Florida, Inc.

It is with great pleasure I am able to recommend CAM Contracting and its President, David Seip. I have had the privilege to use CAM contracting on many different projects over the past five years. All the projects have been completed satisfactorily and with excellence. CAM has completed small size projects (install a new exterior doors or windows), medium size jobs (replace drywall in a home) and large commercial projects (tear down and replace the framing and concrete floors of 3-story stair towers on multiple apartment buildings) involving many subcontractors and a multi-month critical path plan. Each time I engaged Mr. Seip and CAM, they were focused on finishing the project with excellence and timeliness. Mr. Seip has always been personally involved in each project to make sure that subcontractors were completing their portion accurately. I have always appreciated his attention to detail and excellent communication of progress or issues. As a Christian business leader, it is obvious to me that Mr. Seip lives his faith daily and holds himself and his company to the highest moral standards and business practices. We will be turning to CAM Contracting in the future for any of general contracting needs. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experiences with you. With Respect,
